I need an air caulk gun to fill up cracks which surfaced on my garage wall over the years. I need the concrete to reach deep within the grooves of the concrete blocks and I think using an air tool will be able to accomplish that. Would greatly appreciate the advice. Thanks

I prefer the non-air caulk guns. Currently have a Milwaukee 12v for past 10 years. Much more control and very portable.

Home Depot sells some online. Though I've never used one, what makes you think a pneumatic one will "shoot" the caulk deeper than a manual hand held gun? Expandable foam might be a better option, then caulk the surface.

I have the same - Milwaukee 12V. 15 years old and still works perfect.

I bought it because I was having trouble pumping polyurethane caulk by hand - it has no trouble.

I just think a nozzle wouldn't be thin enough to squeeze in between the concrete blocks whereas a pneumatic one might have some pressure to force its way through the crevices.
